Career

Daho’s career is said to have begun when Najib was a child fighting for money in a small market square in Larache, Morocco, where he was known as the "Cåsbah." After moving to Manchester, England, he decided to develop his talent at a local boxing gym where he was scouted by Jack Trickett, soon after becoming an amateur boxer.

In 1986, Daho became British Super-featherweight Champion, and then he became Commonwealth Lightweight Champion in 1989. He retired soon after achieving the commonwealth at the age of 32.

In August 1993, Daho died in a traffic collision while visiting Morocco.

Daho is known for his first round knock out to favorite Pat Cowdell.
